Missing MLB Pitcher’s Daughter Found Safe
by

The missing daughter of a former major league baseball pitcher has been found safe.

In two posts on Twitter.com Tuesday morning, Greg Swindell said that Brenna Swindell, 29, had been found safe and that her “journey home starts soon.”

Brenna Swindell’s mother, Sarah Swindell, also posted — on Facebook — that her daugther and the ex-boyfriend who allegedly threatened to kill her had been “located and are okay.”

Sarah Swindell had previously said her daughter hadn’t been seen since Thursday, when she and Morgan Guidry were seen at Poodies Hilltop Roadhouse outside Austin, Texas, as CrimeOnline reported. Austin police launched an investigation, and by Friday evening had tracked her car to Colorado.

Greg Swindell said that Brenna’s phone was turned off and she hadn’t contacted any family members, including her children, in that time.

In an arrest warrant for Guidry filed on Friday, Austin police said that he had strangled Swindell multiple times and slammed her head onto the floor last month. The arrest warrant does not name the victim, but Sarah Swindell confirmed it was her daughter.

The victim sustained injuries to her clavicle, head, neck, and hand in the attack. She told police she threw a box of ammunition at Guidry and fled while he grabbed a rifle. Police who arrived at the apartment found scattered ammunition on the floor, but Guidry had left with the rifle.

Neither Austin police nor the Travis County Sheriff’s Office, which has taken over the investigation, have confirmed that the missing woman was found or whether Guidry has been arrested.

Greg Swindell had a 17-year career in major league baseball, pitching or the Cleveland Indians, Minnesota Twins, Boston Red Sox, Cincinnati Reds, Houston Astros, and Arizona Diamondbacks between 1986 and 2002. He was a member of the Diamondbacks World Series champions team in 2001. He is a native Texan who attended the University of Texas at Austin.
